Speaking of tankies and debates, how are they taking this whole thing and more importantly how are they justifying Kim's more atrocious actions, or are they just pretending it isn't happening?

Why is it that every time an authoritarian regime or country sees something that they consider "degenerate" they immediately assume that said "degenerate" is weak and soft and will immediately give up upon the slightest push? Still, definitely highlights the different worlds that both Koreas...

Agreed, that usually doesn't happen by chance, and twice in a row.

True, though compared to what he originally wanted it causes damage that will take maybe centuries to heal on a regional level and causes global issues but didn't reach the global apocalypse point, especially in regards to the outcome he predicted. Overall yes he caused a huge amount of damage...

Probably trying to have a second go at it after his apocalyptic fantasy of total nuclear war failed to materialize. make me wonder what the future of movement like Al Quada is, governments will be more on alert, especially when the truth comes out.

The Stalingrad government may be dysfunctional with its policy of killing ministers the day they are appointed, but Petrograd got them beat in the weird ideology department, honestly, the fact that you managed to write something so insane and absurd without once making it sound out of character...

How does a government even function in an environment like that? Also, other than the security agency killing everyone suspected of being an enemy, is there any other part of the Stalingrad government that actually works as intended?

Indeed a sad state of affairs for what used to be the heart of a civilization, definitely adds a sense of tragedy that those Russians outside are still able to see it all unfold and watch as the great cities and landmarks of their homeland get destroyed. It would make for an interesting chapter...

I'm starting to think that the ones living in Siberia might end up being the lucky ones.

This line and the other stuff that was mentioned makes me seriously wonder why any Russians are supporting the communist in this civil war beyond a mix of nostalgia and terror, I get the fascist who basically sells the usual racist narrative and as such would gain support from Russian who might...

They can try, overall though, imagine being born in the Soviet Union a few years before the fall and learning about the world through a communist lens and suddenly getting that thrown out during the early 1990s and then having the system once against destroyed and replaced by a narrative that...

Out of curiosity, what are the communist putting out in terms of insane history narratives compared to their counterparts in Petrograd?

Well, that was truly grizzly and horrifying, the heart of old Russia is now ruled by two monstrous regimes both horrible in their own unique way, and the worse part is they are not entirely unrealistic relative to what we've seen in our world in the past, That is good writing. Also, something...
